Wrap it in a <span> with the appropriate colour. Your
"get date" function is a bit rough too, suggested
improvement below.
Using arrays for months and days is considerably more
efficient than your multiple if's.

HTML is not "commands", it is markup that is interpreted.
It may seem a trivial point, but there you go. You have
no other way of controlling the colour of the element
than using markup, so use it. I have used a span and style,
but you could use a class too.
<html>
<head>
<title>play</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function clientDate(){
var months = ['January','February','March',
'April','May','June','July',
'August','September','October',
'November','','December'];
var days = ['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday',
'Wednesday','Thursday','Friday',
'Saturday'];
var now = new Date();
return days[now.getDay()]
+ ', ' + months[now.getMonth()]
+ ' ' + now.getDate()
+ ', ' + now.getFullYear();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<span style="color: #333366">' +
clientDate() + '</span>');
</script>
</body>
</html>
